He kept his hands in front of his face during most of the ultrasound, attempting at times to get as much of his thumb and hand and arm as possible into his mouth to suck on. I take this as a prenatal sign of his chompable deliciousness, and also: mah boobs are already a little scared.

He did all the typical fetus things. He opened his eyes, stuck out his tongue, gnawed on his fingers, kicked and rolled and smushed himself into the placenta when he'd had quite enough of me rolling from side to side and jostling my belly in hopes of getting a clearer look at his face. In other words: he's brilliant.

We brought Noah with us, although we were at a loss ahead of time on how to really explain what we were going to see. I guess we did an okay job, because the instant the ultrasound image showed up on the projector screen Noah immediately pointed and exclaimed, "Look! Baby brother!" He then asked, "Hey, what you DOING in there?"

What else is there to say? We're having another baby, another boy, another melon-headed chunker and oh my God, I cannot freaking wait to see this lovely little face in person.

Amy, he's gorgeous! I'm also knocked up, and at about 33 weeks, so right there with you on this journey. Additionally, I also am impatient for the chomping and munching of cheeks to commence. Thanks for sharing your delicious orange ghost-baby.

We only had the old fashioned kind of ultrasound with KayTar and it caused BubTar to start calling her Scary Monster Baby. He would ask to watch the ultrasound video, "I want to watch SCARY MONSTER BABY! RAAAR!"

girlplease - We got our 3D scans the old-fashioned way: by paying cash money for them. There are plenty of imaging centers that offer elective ultrasounds for a flat fee and are basically glorified photo shoots. You get no measurements or medical diagnosis or anything -- just photos and a DVD.

The place we went does medical "real" ultrasounds M-F, and then offers the elective ones on the weekends or whenever they have open appointments, so at least you know the technician really knows what they're doing.

Wow! What a little hambone...he really posed nicely for his first closeup :P I think he does look very much like Noah, but more like Jason than his big brother (Noah is more your mini-me, IMHO). I don't remember what Noah weighed, but I'm going to "weigh in" at 10lb 12 oz and 21" long. Hey, want to start a betting pool??

Also, still interested in a very lightly-used Maya wrap pouch? Organic cotton?!

I am not for sure but I think he has an Ipod in there with him!
It is so fascinating how you can see their faces so clearly! I knew exactly what Ayden was going to look like his was clear like that too and like you already even knew who he favored! LOL Amazing technology!

Wowwwww, he looks just like Noah, wow pretty amazing they will be so alike, you will have a so gorgeous baby, congrats!
I'm 9 wks pregnant, had 2 misc, but I have a wonderful baby girl (20 months old) and here in our country we have 4D ultrasounds since 12th week (depending on the doctor) so I'm hoping to get there and see my little baby which I believe will be a girl
Congratulations Amy!!!!

Awesome!
You've just restored my hope. My baby (22 weeks) was modest at the 20 week ultrasound, and doc says that the 30 week may be hard to tell depending on the position. But, you saw your baby's goods, so now I'm rethinking the neutral idea for decor, and maybe will wait 8 more weeks so I can do that football themed room after all...

i've been following your blog for a while. i really enjoy your style. if you were wondering if this entire comment would be in rhyme. well, no. it's got to stop, i haven't the time
anywaaaaaay, just wanted to chime in with the ahead of time congrats and concur with everyone else that he does indeed look like noah. i've got two boys who are alike that way too - guess we're only set for one model of boy. thank heavens it's a cute one!

I was just thinking how much he looks like Noah! So handsome!
When we brought Gavin to our 20-wk ultrasound of Cooper, I told him it was his baby brother in my belly. He then pulled up his shirt and looked suspiciously at his belly. A few days later when looking at the print-outs again, and explaining that Baby Brother was in my belly, he said the exact same thing to my belly: "Hey, what you DOING in there?"

We totally had ours the old-fashioned way, too. Paying for it at an elective studio. We did ours earlier-at 24 weeks- and what is amazing, they still look totally like themselves! (though minus the delcious baby fat that they acquire later on). I'm definitely going to do it again for our baby #2, whenever that is. Congrats again on your beautiful boys!
